Rosencrantz doesn’t believe blue riots will affect his campaign

Actually, the press conference should have taken place yesterday, Monday. The blue presidential candidate Walter Rosenkranz wanted to appear in front of the press and thus herald the collection of signatures for the Hofburg candidacy.

But the blues are rumbling right now. The press conference was postponed to today, Tuesday, following the alleged suicide attempt by ex-FPÖ MP Hans-Jörg Jenewein became known over the weekend. The draft of an ad once morest his own party members is said to have been on his mobile phone. Because Jenewein is considered a close confidante of party leader Herbert Kickl, rumors arose that Kickl might have been involved. He denied this and explained that Jenewein had never been his “right hand” anyway.

“Full Power into Battle”

FPÖ General Secretary Michael Schnedlitz said the headlines would come up because the “system” was getting nervous. Also because incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen is not as firmly in the saddle as he thinks. Van der Bellen is not the patron saint of the constitution and fundamental rights, but of a chaos federal government. The FPÖ will now “throw into the battle with full force”. Rosencrantz stands for a change of direction in the republic.

Rosencrantz himself was optimistic regarding getting the necessary statements of support. The rumblings in the party will have no effect, Herbert Kickl is firmly in the saddle. As a presidential candidate, he didn’t want to get involved in internal party affairs, said Rosencrantz, referring to Schnedlitz. This denied an inner-party rift. There were legal consequences once morest one of many employees. Everything else is campaigning.

There will be a presidium meeting, but not this week. The allegations would also be discussed, but also all other current topics, such as inflation.

Rosencrantz’ election campaign had already started in the federal states last week. According to his own statement, he received a lot of approval there. It wasn’t a late start, just: “We don’t run around like shy chickens in the barn”, but you have a plan.
